For most of this game, it looked like we were watching a heck of an old fashioned pitchers’ duel. In reality, both teams were running out bullpen arms left and right, and neither offense could get anything going. Finally, the Tigers turned it on late to tie this and Zach McKinstry won it in the tenth with a three-run shot.
The Tigers went pretty quietly in the first inning, and Brendan White took the bump for the first inning. The Tigers were presumably looking to get something like six outs from him.
The right-hander struck out Jurickson Profar to open the bottom of the first, and Kris Bryant lifted one out to Kerry Carpenter in left.
